Post-apocalyptic worlds

Post-apocalyptic worlds are settings that depict Earth after a major disaster—like a nuclear war, pandemic, or climate change—that drastically disrupts society and ecosystems. These environments often feature decayed infrastructure, scarce resources, and altered landscapes, forcing survivors to adapt to new challenges. Such stories explore human resilience, morality, and community-building amid chaos. These worlds serve as a canvas for examining how humanity responds to catastrophic changes and the potential future of civilization in the wake of global collapse.
